Paper Kirby

[Zeph]

Yes, but its also pretty much canon to ignore canon when combining different series

Relative height accuracy is far more important than actual height accuracy, Kirby doesn't look 8 inches tall, so he would look odd if you were to sprite him that size.

Thank you, you just broke my mind.

No no, I never meant to disagree with you. I was just pointing things out.

Back on topic though, it could definitely use a darker outline. I never play PM, but I'm pretty sure they have dark outlines.

Oh yeah, and arms etc. etc. etc.

[The Irish Q]

So, is there a light source for Paper Mario style?

[Zeph]

When I tell you to look at existing Paper Mario sprites I expect you to do it.
If you can't figure out where the light source is by looking at this image you don't deserve to sprite:

[The Irish Q]

How is this, besides that he is missing body parts and the mouth is probably to small.

[Zeph]

Still no anti-aliasing, outline is not dark enough, eyes are too square, mouth is too small, etc.

Also, that is the least round circle I've ever seen.

[The Irish Q]

How is it not round?

[GadgetTR]

It looks polygonal. You can clearly see where the "vertexes" would be.

[theguy]

It's not round because it's a hexagon...

[SamsterBoy]

I'm not exactly pro at spriting, but is this circle a little better? I know the shading needs work, but hopefully its good reference.

[GadgetTR]

That is definitely round enough.

But yeah, shading needs fixing.

[The Irish Q]

Good?

[SamsterBoy]

That is definitely round enough.

But yeah, shading needs fixing.

Yay I feel specialer.

Good?

I'm not to sure on the shading, but yeah. Use Bow as reference to Kirby. Try using her eyes with Kirby's eyes, but make some tweaking.

[Alpha Six]

the eyes and mouth are too far apart and the eyes should be bigger.

look at an actual large-scale kirby image for a reference.

[GadgetTR]

A second, closer look at it reveals that it's not actually as round as it could be. Look closely at the top & sides. It shouldn't be hard to tell, and definitely shouldn't be hard to fix.
